The magic of the pyramids and their walls decorated with their mysterious hieroglyphs is something you cannot miss. - On our trip to Egypt we visited the Pyramids of Giza and I was truly impressed by the majesty of these ancient structures. The Great Pyramid of Cheops stood imposingly in front of me, reminding me of the greatness of ancient Egyptian civilization. The sellers of kufiyas, the traditional Arab scarves, approached enthusiastically, offering me their wares with kindness and a smile that told you you could haggle over the price. Despite their insistence, I was able to negotiate with them respectfully and enjoy the experience of acquiring an authentic kufiya as a souvenir of my visit. The adventure of entering the Great Pyramid of Cheops was incredible. The climb to the sarcophagus chamber through the narrow corridors and reaching the pharaoh's chamber was exciting and full of mystery. I felt history palpable around me as I admired the intricate details of the architecture and reflected on life in ancient Egypt. The horse-drawn carriage tour around the pyramids complex was a unique experience. Sitting in the comfortable carriage, I was able to admire the pyramids from different angles, while the guide told me fascinating stories about their construction and meaning. The desert landscape and the cool breeze added a special touch to this unforgettable ride.

Excellent adventure on a short layover - We had a 7 hour layover coming through Cairo, and decided that it would be better to make a quick visit to the pyramids than just sit in the terminal. Our driver was Ibrahim and our guide was Ola. We could not have had a better experience. Ola was waiting outside the terminal for us and we quickly got to the car. While Ibrahim was expertly navigating us through traffic on the way to Giza, Ola gave us a thorough history of Egypt, it's people, and the Giza site where the pyramids and Sphinx are located. Ola arranged tickets to be picked up along our drive so we would not have to wait in line once we arrived. We had a brief complication when entering the site (do NOT bring a telephoto lens or a flash for your DSLR, they are not allowed), but again, Ola was able to work through the problem quickly, and we continued our tour. Ola told us vendors to avoid, and vendors that are reputable. She did not pressure us to make any purchases. We were very comfortable the entire time. We were able to use the car to shuttle from location to location around the pyramids, and were never worried about making it back to the airport on time. We chose to stop at a papyrus store on our way back, and learned how the papyrus paper is made and elected to purchase a print on papyrus. But again, there really was no pressure to stop at the store, much less purchase something. Ola waited by the door exit the entire time we were in the very large shop. There was no point during our tour where we couldn't find her if we needed to, but she gave us several opportunities to walk around on our own. She told us right where she would be waiting for us, and that's where she would be. In summary, if you have a 4 to 5 hour or more long layover at Cairo International Airport, do this tour. If you want to know more detail about Egyptian history and the history of the Giza site, do this tour. If you want to get higher quality souvenirs to remember your trip, do this tour. If you want to have great conversation while someone else shuttles you through the traffic in Cairo, do this tour. Cannot recommend enough. 10/10.

Amazing - The driver and tour guide made continuous efforts to ensure the experience amazing. A female traveling alone in a foreign country can create extra challenges but these guys made sure I was safe (and were great photographers so I didn't end up with a bunch of selfies!)

Best Tour Guide - The tour guide is the best. It was a memorable experience just because of him. Safety and security was first and comes his knowledge of the history. Exceptional.

Fantastic guide for into to Pyramids - We were looking for an intro to the pyramids and this excursion was perfect. Our guide was knowledgable, interesting and interested. He listened to our requests and helped us make the most of our short time. Unfortunately we did not note his name. We think it was Marco. see the photo. if someone can correct this failure on our part, I'd be grateful!

Amazing half day at Giza Pyramids and Sphinx - Visiting the Pyramids was a great experience! Our guide Sam picked us up at Cairo airport on time and welcomed us to Cairo. The car was air conditioned and two bottles of cold water were there for us. The driver was very friendly and our half day tour to Giza Pyramids and Sphinx began. He drove us to different spots at the Pyramids’ site where we visited the Pyramids and Sphinx. Sam, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible and gave the history and important information on the Pyramids. He even took a lot of amazing pictures of us! The tour included lunch and a visit to a Papyrus place where we learned how papyrus is made. Sam even took us to a souvenir place for shopping before we were dropped off at Cairo airport to catch our connecting flight. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a few hours in Cairo.

Half day trip to Giza Pyramids & Sphinx - Outstanding! Ask for tour guide Sayed Mahmoud by name. He was extremely attentive to our interests and needs. He was very informative, funny and taught us many things about his culture and people. He skillfully negotiated extra perks and access that made our trip exceptional. We never felt rushed or pressured. He was there to serve us. He shared intimate cultural crafts with local vendors in a casual, no pressure environment. We were always free to decline but the cultural histories were invaluable.

Great sights but bad organisation - Loved the experience the trip to sakkar was even better as it was less crowded. Seeing the piramyds and the Sphinx was amazing. My only dislike was not what I saw but your organisation I had to buy tickets to enter and then get my money back in Egyptian pounds. I had to do this for every site visited. Does not make sense. If I pay for the tour everything should be covered. Yes I get money back but I am now carrying a surplus off Egyptian currency that I don't want. Off course it does not cover the currency conversion for the credit card!
